New ERGO Feature: Amplicon Sequence Analysis Workflow

Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+2.54.37+PM.jpg

Easily analyze your amplicon sequencing with ERGO’s new drag-and-drop automated Workflow for amplicon sequence analysis. ERGO does it all from sequence read quality checks, primer trimming, denoising, merging, and taxonomic assignment. No knowledge of linux or other tools are necessary.

Our workflows use academically proven software and best practices, so you’re always guaranteed publishable and repeatable result.

ERGO presently supports the following sequencing technologies for automated Amplicon Sequence Analysis Workflows:

  • Illumina

  • Pacific Biosciences

  • 454

  • Ion Torrent

Getting started is as easy as creating a new workflow and selecting your reads in ERGO. If your read file names are in Casava 1.8 Format - common for most Illumina analysis - ERGO can deduce your read relationships (pairs) and sample names automatically.

After the workflow is completed ERGO generates a standard BIOM file. This file can easily be opened and explored in ERGO with our built in microbiome profile analysis tools.
